Kandao Prometheus Vision

I am currently a PhD student in CMA, HKUST(GZ), supervised by Prof. Kang ZHANG and Prof. Zeyu WANG.

Short Bio

• I received my Master degree from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) in 2013.

• From 2016 to 2018, I was in the founding team of Kandao as Head of Algorithm. I started and led the vision team in charge of computer vision related algorithms and desktop softwares.

Obsidian Pro Kandao Studio Meeting

• On 2018, I cofounded Zhuhai Prometheus Vision as CTO. We started to build the best Volumetric Video solution in industry. I'm specialized in vision system architect, cuda acceleration, non-linear optimization, stereo, neural based rendering, etc.

Camera Array Textured Mesh

• In 2022, I was appointed off-campus supervisor of Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School
